I would give ZERO stars if I could. Extremely unprofessional and provided no customer service. They're unbearable and it's impossible to try to get any help with them. The instructors rushed every session and provided no real teaching. They overcharged me compared to other driving schools in the area. They will nickel and dime you for services that should be included considering the prices they charge. Took me almost an entire year to take my drivers exam that they wanted to charge me an extra $200 for!!!! Β AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!! Read Less

I already knew how to drive an automatic but was interested in learning stick shift.I took two, 1 hour stick shift lessons with them. In the latter half of the 2nd lesson, I felt confident enough that I was able to drive around the town, although I did stall a few times along the way.If you're interested in learning how to drive a stick shift, I would strongly suggest that you first watch a bunch of Youtube videos on how to drive a stick shift. This will help you to understand the theory behind stick shift driving. So that, when you start taking the lessons, the practical instruction you receive will complement what you've already learned on a theoretical level.I would estimate that most people, who already know how to drive automatics, would probably need 2-3 hours of lessons, to learn stick shift.

Don't go to this driving school. I showed up 30 minutes early for my 2 hour session and the instructor showed up 20 minutes late. Then the instructor wasted 15 minutes in a line to get gas. 35 minutes of my paid 2 hours were wasted. They refused to refund me the missed time and would not allow me to make up the time. Read Less

DO NOT COME HERE! I spent over TWO MONTHS Β just trying to get my eye exam done. Every time I called, they NEVER picked up. And when they did pick up, they would tell me to come another day than my scheduled appointment. It took OVER 4 MONTHS to finish my six hours. Even though I booked appointments weeks in advance, they would either cancel LAST MINUTE or NEVER SHOW UP/TELL ME and then proceed to blame me. They rescheduled me OVER 7 TIMES. Their customer service was TERRIBLE. The lady at the front was super rude and unprofessional. After six months, they wouldn't help validate my permit (which most schools do), forcing me to go on my own (but the DMV made me pay a fee). Luis was a bad instructor; he did not give tips and was very unclear. He made me go to his house (wasting 15 mins of what I paid) and pick random strangers up. The manager fought with my dad and was very unprofessional, screaming "colorful" words at us. Their prices are the worst and unreasonable. THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE!! NEVER COME HERE!!! Read Less

I can not say enough about how nice the people in the office at the fords location were and how nice the instructors were! My son is 16 years old and while he was not nervous about learning to drive this mom sure was! but they were so nice and re assured me everything was going to be ok. they were very accommodating to my son's school and work schedule. If I needed to re schedule last minute because of work or school activities they were very flexible with it. The instructors made my son feel at ease while on the road. every time he came back from a lesson he was telling me how cool they were. they walked me threw step by step of what they were going to do and then what I needed to do. Growing up we tell our kids don't get into cars with strangers so it was very hard for me to let go and allow someone else to teach him to drive as I have been there to teach him everything, but I am glad I did because it turned out to be a great experience. It put my mind and heart at ease knowing he was in good hands.. I would recommend Ideal Driving School to anyone. Read Less

I would rather give a minus, highly unprofessional guys, All they look for is money, Not at all helpful, take money from you to get an early date for road test and simply login and take whatever is available, that anyone can have done. Instructor stops by to get coffee food, just before your test and is munching all the time, when it is time to give you important tips. Won't ever recommend it for anyone. Read Less
